Pickle Road Garden was inspired by a trip to magazine editor Mark Lipinkski’s home and the art motifs on one of the “Quilter’s Home” covers. Learn how to multi-size and quick-piece the center stars, then add a beautiful flower garden using Annie’s raw-edge machine applique technique. The fabrics pop on solid black, or use a different color that suits your taste and décor. Ideas for machine quilting will be discussed with guest quilter, Melodee Wade, who quilted the sample.
